If only some of us other researchers had the capability to find out our information as you do!! I would personally call my grandfather or some of my father's brothers and sisters and find out what his father's name was while I still had time. (Put aside any hard feelings, if there are any between family members!).If Ruby Grant Cardin's death happened before her husband's her death certificate will probably have her husband's name on it..do you know her husband's date of death? Also, their marriage license would give his name. If you know the funeral home who handled Ruby's burial I would check with them and see if they also handled his death.As of a book that I have on the burials in 10 Mile Cemetery there were several Cardin/Carden burials in that cemetery, however it is only up to date as of November 3, 1979. Ruby Grant Cardin had a marker there on that date that only said Ruby Grant Cardin and the only date on the marker was May 31, 1902. One person listed in the book was Leonard Cardin April 17, 1869-November 10, 1935. He is known to have been the son of Amos Cardin and Nancy Rippitoe proven by his death certificate. My (and others) records show Amos was from Monroe County Tennessee. She is, by all indications, his second wife. Could Ruby Grant Cardin's husband have been Elmer L. whose marker is said to have been near hers?A search of my large collection of Cardin/Carden records, however, do not show a son for Amos and Nancy Rippiote Cardin named Alfred Wayne on the 1860,1870, or 1880 Arkansas census records. Please send me the date of death, if you have it, for Ruby Grant Cardin's husband's death and any other information that you have. My cemetery book on 10 Mile Cemetery shows that that cemetery is located one half mile from Garland County and about one mile from Hot Springs Arkansas line. I will be glad to help if you can send me more information. Bobbie Cardin in Louisiana
